Ligue 1 preview: Top four in pre-Christmas jostle

Lille, Paris St Germain, Rennes and Lyon will be all vying for top spot in Ligue 1 on Wednesday as French football heads into its winter break.

The final round of matches before Christmas starts on Tuesday, when 10th-placed Montpellier visit 12th-placed Montpellier at Stade du Moustoi.

But the real interest centres on Wednesday's games - with one point separating the top four sides.

Lille are on top with 31 points, level with second-placed Paris St Germain and Rennes, with Lyon a point further back in fourth, although Rudi Garcia's Lille side do have a game in hand over the chasing pack.
